Grey Times Ahead

Below you will find a series of "mouldy oldies", as Rosco calls them. Slides digitised from his archive of treasures, taken back in the 1980s, and sent to help get you all in the mood for the Thredbo 80's Reunion to be held next month.

For me personally, I first started skiing in Thredbo at the beginning of the 80s but I never really knew any of the locals or regulars. As a weekend warrior, staying off snow, it wasn't until the 90's when I started spending winters in Berridale that I got to know the regulars.
